The Walker County Landfill will host Retire Your Tires Amnesty Day today, Saturday, November 8th, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Free disposal is available for car and light truck tires (20 inches or smaller) and ATV tires, which must be dismounted, dry, and clean. Only Walker County residents can participate, requiring proof of residency. There’s a limit of 15 tires per vehicle, and a satellite drop-off location is available in north Walker County. The event has removed over 30,000 tires since 2017, recycling them into products like industrial fuel. The Retire Your Tires Amnesty Day event is made possible thanks to a grant from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division’s Local Government Scrap Tire Abatement Reimbursement (STAR) Program. This grant reimburses Walker County for the cost of transporting and processing scrap tires. The grant is funded from Georgia’s Solid Waste Trust Fund, which consumers pay into when purchasing new tires in Georgia.
